[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an area like you described. Really bad public schools. Neither of my parents went to college (though they had a successful business). My friends had small goals. I did a competitive sport about 30 minutes away where my peer group was all from Type A families. My parents learned from their parents about tutoring and a good, gifted summer program at a local college, etc. (I wasn't gifted, but I have always had a strong work ethic and drive). I did well in my sport and attended a good college. My younger siblings followed a similar trajectory. I know there was more to it, but I attribute much of my trajectory to participating in a competitive sport. [/quote]
